Hi Anower! All my readers are good friends of mine.
You said on the above recipe ‘Stir frequently till sugar is dissolved and it becomes soft dough’ – can u please give exact time like 10 min or 15 min. I think this is the tricky part of this recipe. Do I need to cook this like Sandesh recipe? Please advise.
I really like your recipe:)
You dont need to cook like sondesh. For Pranhara Chhana needs to be soft. So cook it till water from sugar dry up. I can give you a tip, cook chhana 4 minutes and let it dries then add icing sugar and knead it. And make Pranhara. Hope it will help.Thanks.
Thank you, I will try to make this on our EID.
Eid Mubarak Apa,
How much Chana should get extracted from 1 ltr Liquid milk? In Madam Siddiqa Kabir’s book it says 3/4 cup.
[…] sweets I grew up eating. Overly sweet but crazy good to eat and to look at. Snow-white ones, ‘Pranhara‘ is made of pure ricotta. Yellow balls are called ‘Laddoo‘; chick pea flour […]
